20:41Now PlayingYour morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.
On today's podcast:
(1) Keir Starmer is awaiting the results of one of the most consequential rounds of local elections in recent British history, a vote that could determine his future as prime minister and shape national policy in Europe’s second-largest economy.
(2) The US struck military targets in Iran after the country fired on three Navy destroyers sailing in the Strait of Hormuz, an escalation that threatened to fracture a fragile ceasefire and reignite hostilities even as the two sides say they’re discussing an end to the war.
(3) The European Central Bank will have to raise interest rates if the Iran war leaves a more lasting mark on inflation, according to Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel.
(4) President Donald Trump’s 10% global tariffs were declared unlawful by a federal trade court in a fresh blow to the administration’s economic agenda, just months after the US Supreme Court vacated earlier levies he’d imposed.
(5) President Donald Trump said he would give the European Union until July 4 to ratify its trade agreement with the US, after previously threatening to hike tariffs on auto imports as soon as this week if it failed to do so.
(6) In some circles on Wall Street, the hottest debate isn’t about a tech-stock bubble or $100 oil as the new norm. It’s whether 30-year Treasury yields will mount a sustained push over 5%.
